Sure What's The Worst That Could Happen

You can't drum up the heartbeats

Of loved ones come to pass

Stop wishing for forever

'Cause nothing ever lasts

If it's keeping you from sleeping

Wipe the tear from your eye

'Cause sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

neat little detail on Barnacle & Dime left: TANSEI (misspelling of dansei, male) right: JOSEI (female) middle: GENTERLESS (same misspelling of D being replaced with T)

my best guess for the T/D typo is because the 2 sounds are very close (and visually are too in JP). plus in background inkling language text in Splatoon, there often are little misspellings like that anyway congrats to splatoon for unveiling canonical gender neutral bathrooms on pride month

Things that make me sob uncontrollably:

Marina tackling Pearl in Octo Expansion

The high five Pearl and Marina did before the key change in Ebb n Flow in that one concert

Pearl and Marina fist bumping at the end of said concert

All of these:

Yes I'm thinking about Pearlina again I miss them so much GIVE ME THE DLC

reminder that these exist. make them for splatoon 3

Gotta love how Pearl and Marina are so gay that they were told they were too gay for the main game and got put into the gay DLC

bridget arcade mode making me SO happy

ID: the “woe plague be upon ye” meme redrawn with Bridget’s Strive design. Instead of a hamster, she is throwing Roger, and the caption is changed to “Roger be upon ye” to match. The second image is a redraw of a tweet saying “dinner with papaw tonight [heart emoji] he made burgers for the whole roster and I’m the only one who showed [crying emoji] love him”, with the attached photo being Bridget and Goldlewis at a dinner table, Goldlewis holding a burger. His alien friend’s arm is stealing off his plate. END ID

[Ninjago] The Fire Chapter

…What if the events of s11 played out a little differently?

Or, an au/rewrite where it’s a little more Kai centric. I’ll just paraphrase stuff and then sometimes draw comics for it :)

Basically, the scrolls are a bit more relevant, but the beginning mostly is the same. They’re all a bit cocky and complacent, and now that their powers no longer rely on Lloyd or the golden weapons, Kai feels that he’s at his peak. The gang go on a rescue mission to find a missing archaeologist(idk I think rescue is better than looking for trouble) and after they find Clutch, they accidentally release Aspheera in their complacency, who’s hell bent on showing the world what true power is like (but wu is the first person she wants to welcome to her new world or smth idk)

She still takes Kai’s powers away, except he tries to not let it deter him. But when he fails to do anything to really help the team and is left to the sidelines, he starts to let the doubt seep in. Lloyd says the same thing he does in the show, but also tells Kai that he understands how he feels (having lost his powers in s9) and that he’s still a hero. They continue on with the battle, except this time, Aspheera wins and the ninja have to escape.

The rest of the team starts to feel the consequences of their failures, and think that if they only had a scroll themselves than they could have a chance. Same stuff basically goes down with finding second scroll, etc, etc, leading to the showdown between Aspheera’s army and the gang. But…it goes down a little differently….

Part 1

Cute Off the Hook details from Japan-only Splatfests:

Pearl always steals Marina’s nuggets rather than get her own. She claims it’s because she gets full fast. Sure, Pearlie, we believe you. (Fries vs. McNuggets)

Pearl once tried to get a slosher filled to the brim with fries. (Fries vs. McNuggets)

…Marina has tried the same with nuggets, but more discreetly. Pearl still noticed. (Fries vs. McNuggets)

Marina is into hot yoga. (Dexterity vs. Endurance)

Pearl gets fidgety if she isn’t on the move and even stands on her chair and walks around the studio when the girls are recording. Very adhd of her! (Dexterity vs. Endurance)

Marina is a good cook and has a recipe for deep-fried chicken with lemon peels. (Lemon vs. No Lemon) Later, she also prepares dango after the Hana vs. Dango splatfest and oshiruko after the Tsubuan vs. Koshian splatfest. All of it is to be shared with Pearl, obviously!

Marina offered to pick out cool outerwear for Pearl after winning the Inner Wear vs. Outer Wear Splatfest, which Pearl agreed to despite complaining that clothes shopping with Marina always takes too long. (Inner Wear vs. Outer Wear)

Pearl and Marina had so much fun watching the matches for the Champion vs. Challenger Splatfest that by the second half they started cheering for each other’s teams. (Champion vs. Challenger)

Marina has a serious sweet tooth and claims her brain needs high sugar content to function. (Hana vs. Dango)

Marina asked the Inkopolis News staff to avoid bringing Mushroom Mountain biscuits to her and Pearl’s dressing room. She explains that the last time she ate a Mushroom Mountain biscuit, “its silhouette gradually started looking like Pearl” and she couldn’t unsee that and had to stop eating… (Mushroom Mountain vs. Bamboo Shoot Village)

Marina likes anko (azuki red bean paste) in any form and has no idea what her preference is until Pearl probes into anko-based dishes Marina likes and accidentally makes her realize she’s Team Koshian. Pearl was so ready to have Marina on her team too… (Tsubuan vs. Koshian)

Between Marina being a newbie to the surface world and basically only watching anime and TV dramas (as she should), she has to admit on live television that she has only the bare minimum idea of what boke and tsukkomi are. Pearl teaches her by invoking an entire manzai gag utilizing Marina’s obsession with heavy machinery. (Boke vs. Tsukkomi)

Marina is extremely prone to infodumping. It’s super cute. Pearl usually lets her go on but sometimes she has to remind her they’re live and can’t turn Inkopolis News into a 2-hour documentary show unprompted. The one time she relents and promises Marina she can talk about something she’s into in their next live show, Marina gets super excited and says she’ll bring a screen and projector and prepare materials for it. Pearl accepts her fate and proceeds to inform their audience to prepare for a 24-hour live show and bring snacks and sleeping bags. (Boke vs. Tsukkomi)

After Pearl sells Marina on the idea of actually attending a baseball match (as per the North American Baseball vs. Soccer splatfest, Marina knows squat about baseball), she regretfully informs her she’s banned from the regular stands at the stadium and always has to watch from the VIP room because she gets too excited and… well, her voice, you know how it’s like. Marina resolves to set up the acoustics at the stadium so she and Pearl can go together. (Ce vs. Pa)
